King crouched down, looking around the corner, then nodded at Belle. She nodded back, picking up her gun and pointing it in front of her, as she moved forward, staying low to the ground.

"All clear!" She called, as she entered the alley, not seeing anyone.

King stood, and followed her into the alley. The smell of blood hit him hard, and he took a sharp intake of breath, through his mouth, wincing slightly.

As he looked at the walls of the dead ended alley he took note that they had been blood-stained a deep crimson, rather than their usual brick red. Blood pooled at their feet, and he took note of that as well. He saw nothing at the other end of the alley because of the lack of proper lighting, but he heard no motion, and turned to Belle.

"Are you alright?" He asked, noting her wide eyes, and visibly paler face.

"I think Im going to be sick." She said, putting a hand on over her mouth.

King put a hand on her shoulder and led her out of the alley, taking a seat on the curb of the vaccant street.

"Take a deep breath, relax. Get the smell of blood out of your nose." He advised her.

Belle shuddered, and King put an arm around her.

"Im sorry," she said, "I just.. Im not used to the sight of blood, I guess you would be, I mean, since you were a vampire, but me..." She trailed off, and looked apologettically at him.

"Dont worry about it." King said, giving her a reassuring smile. "It takes some getting used to."

Six months ago

Abigail blinked, letting her eyes get accustomed to the blackness that surrounded her. She heard motion somewhere infront of her and bolted upright, she tried to use her arms to push herself up to stand, but found them chained down.

"Fuck." She said, her eyes darting around the darkened room, "Im so fucked." She added.

The room was too dark for her to see what was moving on the other end of the room, but she wasnt that supprised when she saw the cause of the movement walking towards her.

It was a vampire, obviously, but not just any vampire.

One that should have been dead.

He sneered at her, and she did her best not to vomit as the realization of what was to happen hit her.

Hard.

He wasnt going to kill her.

No, that would be too easy.

He opened his mouth, exposing his fangs to her as he bent towards her neck.

She screamed.

And he bit down.

Within a few moments everything went black.

Present time

Abigail lounged against the silver couch, one leg tossed half-hazardly over the arm.

He stood at the other end of the room, watching her, silently.

Always silently.

He had a knack for sneaking up on people.

He noted that she seemed quite content to just lay there, rather than go feed.

"You'll have to feed sooner or later." He said smuggly.

She looked up, she hadnt noticed him come in. She never noticed him come in.

Abby blinked, and removed her leg from the arm and set it on the floor.

"True," She said, licking her lips.

She stood, and moved towards the door, straightening out her black tanktop and jeans.

She paused, and turned back towards the couch, pulling on a pair of leather boots. When she turned back towards the door, he was gone. She rolled her eyes, and walked out of the door, listening to the clicking sound her heels made on the marble floors as she walked. He was no where in sight and she grit her teeth together.

"Drake?" She called out in iritation.

She rounded a corner and found him leaning against the wall by the main exit, waiting for her.

"Ready?" He asked, and she rolled her eyes, again, and followed him out the door.

Belle took a deep breath, and stood, "Come on," She said, heading back into the alley.

King smiled to himself. She might just make it through this. He thought, as he stood and followed her lead.

He stepped into the alley again, and the scent of blood hit him again. He took a deep breath and looked over at Belle. She seemed alright this time.

"You okay?" He asked, and she nodded at him.

"Im okay." She said. King nodded and looked towards the end of the alley, pulling a flashlight from his belt.

He saw them and heard their growling.

"Fuck me sideways." He said, "Who's a good puppy? Whoa, look at that pretty smile. Who's a good dog?" He looked up at Belle. "Run. Now! Go!" He told her.

"What about you?" She asked.

"I'll distract them, and then run like hell, go!" He said, quickly. "Now!"

She nodded, "Be careful!" She called over her shoulder as she tore out of the alley.

The dogs eyed King like they were about to run after Belle. "Who's a good dog?" He asked again, backing slowly out of the alley so he could keep their attention. The dogs growled low in their throats, and pomeranian opened it's mouth to snap at him. The two rotweilers drooled and started running towards him, and he turned taking off in the oposite direction as Belle.
